Interviews shouldn’t slow your admissions cycle — yet too often, they do.
At Shortlister, we’ve long helped universities run efficient, fair and flexible asynchronous interviews, enabling admissions teams to assess candidates consistently while giving applicants a better way to showcase their potential.
Now, we’re taking it one step further. Shortlister is partnering with Stu3 to make admissions interviews even more connected for institutions using SIS (Student Information Systems). Together, we’re helping teams run interviews faster, smoother, and with less administrative burden, all while improving the experience for applicants.
About Stu3
Stu3 is a leading provider of higher education student systems and services, specialising in helping universities get the most value from their SIS platforms. Their expertise in system integrations and admissions workflows makes them the perfect partner to connect Shortlister’s asynchronous interviews seamlessly into university systems.
Why Admissions Interviews Need a Rethink
Admissions interviews are critical to assessing candidates beyond grades, helping teams understand motivation, potential and fit.
But they can also be complex and time-consuming. Many admissions teams juggle:
- Manual handovers between systems
- Disconnected data and duplicate records
- Time-consuming communication with applicants
- Limited visibility of interview status and outcomes
Applicants, meanwhile, want flexibility, clarity and digital-first experiences. They want to complete interviews when it suits them and see their progress clearly, without chasing emails or navigating multiple platforms.
A modern admissions interview process should support efficiency, fairness and widening participation, giving all applicants a fair chance to shine while reducing administrative load for teams.
The Shortlister + Stu3 Vision
Shortlister is the ultimate screening tool for higher education, enabling structured, asynchronous interviews that are consistent, fair and easy to manage.
Stu3 brings deep expertise in student systems like SITS, helping universities embed these interviews directly into existing workflows. Together, we help admissions teams move from siloed processes to a fully connected, applicant-friendly approach.
Whether your team uses Stu3 or not, Shortlister empowers admissions teams to deliver a high-quality, flexible interview experience — and for SIS institutions, this integration makes it even smoother and more connected.
What the Integration Unlocks for Teams and Applicants
✨ More Time for Strategic Work
Fewer repetitive tasks mean admissions teams can focus on reviewing candidates, supporting applicants, and making better decisions.
✨ A Smoother, Flexible Experience for Applicants
Candidates get clear invites, flexible completion options, and visibility into their interview progress, making the process more transparent and accessible.
✨ Better-Connected Data
Integration reduces duplication, errors and delays, giving teams confidence that the information they see is accurate and up-to-date.
Our clients already see invite-to-outcome timelines under 9 days, attendance rates above 80%, and measurable improvements in team efficiency — and this partnership helps SIS institutions achieve that impact even more easily.
Why SIS Integration Matters
For many universities, SIS is the operational backbone of admissions.
Without integration, teams often rely on spreadsheets, emails or manual updates to manage interviews, which can slow decisions and create errors. Integrating Shortlister with SIS through Stu3 allows:
- Admissions teams to work from consistent, connected data
- Clear visibility of interview progress where decisions are made
- Processes to scale more effectively during peak recruitment
Strategically, this means faster, fairer decisions without adding complexity.
The Result: A Modern, Connected Admissions Journey
Imagine peak recruitment season: instead of juggling spreadsheets, emails and disconnected platforms, admissions staff can assign interview tasks in a few clicks. Applicants complete their asynchronous interviews at a time that suits them, and outcomes flow back into the system automatically.
No chasing.
No re-keying.
No uncertainty.
Just a connected, fair and efficient admissions journey for everyone.
